It is funny about 6 weeks ago people here were complaining when they sent Beckham back to the minors.

Pretty bold statement, The Rays have a solid young core with Longo, Archer, Cobb, Odorizzi, McGee Boxberger, Jennings, and Karns. They also have some young guys who have struggled who still may pan out in Souza, Beckham and Mahtook. Forsythe has also looked good and hopefully Smyly comes back strong.

Sun, 02 Aug 2015 02:57:05 +0000http://www.raysindex.com/?p=35267#comment-369681We may not see the club go all in for an actual attempt to make the post season again until the stadium situation is resolved between Stu and the St Pete City Council; you can't blame Stu as the council is basically holding him hostage by not allowing him to look across the Bay to find a new stadium site and I would not be surprised if Stu is helping fan the Montreal rumors to light a fire under them..... Attendance is bad and not getting better, it was less than 10 K better even at its best 5 years back when the rays were in the series and the following season where people actually bought some season tickets... TV revenue decent and a lot of us watch Sunsports as opposed to the ratings Miami gets so the team has fans but until Stu gets his new stadium I suspect we will see more of this nickel and dime BS with the Rays hoping to cultivate more gems from the minors and taking flyers off of players other teams have took a pass on like Grady Sizemore and Joey Butler who has more ABs in Japan than the MLB......

Sun, 02 Aug 2015 02:49:22 +0000http://www.raysindex.com/?p=35270#comment-369680Tim Beckham kind of reminds me of a Devil ray and the way the the Rays' management simply will not admit the overall first round pick of 2008 is a bust is something that Vince Naomoli would do as he was so concerned about saving coin...

Sat, 01 Aug 2015 21:46:19 +0000http://www.raysindex.com/?p=35267#comment-3696683 games out of a playoff spot, and trade away top performers in areas that are obviously weak to the team. Wow. Just wow.

If I'm reduced to rooting for Stu's bottom line, can we rename the team the Minimum Wagers?

And if you take a look at the pitching depth in the minors, you can see that the Rays had plenty of chips they could have cashed in.

And what did they pick up for their salary dumps? If you guessed pitching, pitching, and more pitching then you would be correct.

Does the FO know that it's actually critical to score runs in order to win games?

Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:30:03 +0000http://www.raysindex.com/?p=35270#comment-369663Schadenfreude will not even start to explain it. After all, the ones who "earn" the minimum still get half-a -million for playing like little leaguers.

Except that the burgers taste better at a LL concession. And cost way less.

Sat, 01 Aug 2015 16:24:07 +0000http://www.raysindex.com/?p=35267#comment-369652Maybe, he's referencing the fact that the Rays have lost 8 games with out the pitchers giving up a single earned run (see Thursday).

That simple fact screams for offensive help. Win those 8 games and the season is a totally different story.

Does he have to pitch a perfect game to get his 10th victory?

The Ray's front office is an embarrassment.

Sat, 01 Aug 2015 16:09:53 +0000http://www.raysindex.com/?p=35267#comment-369650ok so we keep hearing that we have to "retool" for the future, i just want to know one thing, when is the future going to get here. If the rays don't make the playoffs this year it will be the third year in a row, and unless they go out and "retool" again in the off season there is a good chance next year will be more of the same. It is time to get some offence in here . One good bat would have probably helped, and i am not talking about a rent a player, im talking about a player that would help for at least 2 years. I also understand it takes two to tango but from what we heard there was plenty of conversation. So do we stay status quo and keep this team , which even if we did get to the playoffs we would more than likely be one and done, or does stu and the boys open up that wallet just a little more and bring in a bat or two. Im tired of hearing lets play meaningful games in sept, what about october, I thought the reason you played this game was to win championships, i hope that is why stu bought the team, not to play meaningful games in sept. On the flip side of things i am greatful that they are doing the honor program, i have been to a couple of games already this year and now because of the program will go to a few more, it may be boooorrrrinnngg baseball but it is baseball, GO RAYS !!!!
